Wow!
I haven't been to this thread since the 11th, just caught up.
First, thank you all for keeping such good notes for me .
Then, I am not surprised. The story sounded hinky to me from the get go. And I kept thinking, sorta stepbrother, 15 yrs old. He said he ran away, they got separated in this horrible downpour that seems not to have been such....
felt hinky.
I hope they charge him as an adult. He did what used to be a horrible 'adult' crime. Times have changed and the statutes need to as well.
It's disgusting as well as so sad that 'kids' are so violent these days.
That's another subject.
But, I am all for these little murdering POS's being tried as adults in any felony case. Especially murder.
And this was obviously planned. I wonder how long he's been grooming her? How he got her to go with him?
What was the reason they were out and about according to parents. If that's been said, I missed it.
So many questions.
The biggest one we will probably never know the answer to...why?

Arrest Of 15-Year-Old Murder Suspect Came As ‘Utter Shock’ To Friend’s Mom

THORNTON, Colo. (CBS4)– The arrest of the 15-year-old boy in the murder of 10-year-old Kiaya Campbell came as an "utter shock" to the mother of the boy’s close friend.

Campbell was [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and Aidan Zellmer was arrested two days later. The two juveniles’ parents were dating.

Zellmer is so young that prosecutors need a judge’s permission to charge him as an adult. He currently faces two first degree murder charges.

Crystal Gabaldon’s 15-year-old daughter was best friends with Zellmer. She said she watched television newscasts to get updates on the Campbell case and used it as a warning to her children.

"Because you know I have girls that age. I go ‘Look at what can happen, you guys. You never know what can happen. You guys have got to be careful.’ A couple of days later that’s when I seen that Aiden was a suspect. And I was just in utter shock," Gabaldon said.

The family of Kiaya Campbell, the 10-year-old who went missing in early June and was later found dead, released a statement Saturday thanking law enforcement and emergency responders for their work and for the support the family received both here and across the nation.“We would like to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, all those who have expressed their love and concern for the loss we are suffering,” the family’s statement read. “The outpouring of local community, statewide, and nationwide support has given us comfort and a greater belief in humanity.”

What a nice speech she wrote for her grade 5 graduation. I can only imagine the heartache her family is going through .

THORNTON, Colo. (CBS4)– The investigation into the murder of 10-year-old Kiaya Campbell has found bruises on her body, but so far no evidence that she was sexually assaulted.

A 15-year-old boy has been charged with her murder.

When the girl was located there were questions as to whether she had been molested.

Now we are learning, to this point, there has been no indication of that.

The state of her clothing gave rise to questions as to whether there had been a sexual assault, but that does not appear to be the case.

He is to appear in court again June 30. At that time a date is to be set for a hearing that may include arguments for release on bond, a preliminary hearing on the evidence, and whether he should be tried as an adult.

The Adams County Coroner has completed the autopsy of the girl, but will not release the results or comment because the case remains under investigation.

That's a relief, thank God she was not molested too.

This is so different than what we are told about the suspect. Maybe an Eddie Haskell type of kid?

ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. – The teenaged boy [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] earlier this month will be back in an Adams County courtroom Friday.

At the hearing, which is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., a judge will determine what bond will be set for the 15-year-old boy, who faces a first-degree murder charge and a murder of a child charge in connection with Kiaya Campbell's death.

The District Attorney’s Office is also expected to file a transfer request to try and get the teen charged as an adult. Dave Young, the district attorney for the 17th Judicial District, informed the court earlier this month he would motion to charge the teen as an adult.

Cameras won’t be allowed inside Friday’s hearing.

I guess in the state of Colorado if you're being held as juvenile you can be given bond. I'm thinking this little monster isn't going to be given bond, at least I hope he's not. IMO, he should be charged as an adult.

A judge has postponed a hearing to decide whether a 15-year-old boy will be tried in adult court in the death of 10-year-old Kiaya Campbell.

A week-long hearing was scheduled to begin Oct. 30 in Adams County. A preliminary hearing during the same hearing will determine whether there is sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.

The skinny, fidgety teen, who appears to be much younger than 15, huddled close to his attorney and was silent. He was trembling slightly with his hands held behind his back. The boy has curly dark brown hair and wore a blue detention home shirt and green, tie-string pants.

Jessica Meza, his attorney, asked for a delay of four months to give her time to prepare for the hearing.

"Considering he is only 15 and is facing life in prison we need to be prepared," Meza said. "This is an ongoing investigation. We need the testimony from various experts. It’s going to be a lengthy hearing."

Magistrate Judge Priscilla Loew, who had excluded the media at a prior hearing, allowed reporters to remain in the court because there was no evidence presented at the hearing, said Assistant District Attorney Jess Redman.

So there you have it, we don't know anything other than the hearing was cancelled and he'll be juvenile hall for at least 4 months.

Oh please, now he's this little trembling boy. He sure wasn't that way when he murdered a sweet little innocent girl. I'm not falling for his acting, did his attorney tell him to act this way.
